The idea of God, infinity, or spirit stands for the possible... - Edgar Allan Poe

"Even in the grave, all is not lost."

"Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears."

"To elevate the soul, poetry is necessary."

"Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe, and forget this lost Lenore!"

"With me poetry has not been a purpose, but a passion."
